The Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP), formulated as a strategy for the socio-economic development of Scheduled Tribes, primarily seeks to achieve which of the following objectives?
Bridge the developmental gap between Scheduled Tribes and the rest of the population through inclusive development
The Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP) strategy was introduced during the Fifth Five-Year Plan (1974–79) on the recommendation of the S. C. Dube Committee (1972).
It requires central ministries and state governments to earmark a proportion of their plan outlay — at least equal to the ST share in the population — exclusively for Scheduled Tribes; the funds are now allocated as the Development Action Plan for Scheduled Tribes (DAPST).
The primary objective of the TSP is to bridge the developmental gap between Scheduled Tribes and the rest of the population through inclusive, area-specific and family-oriented interventions in health, education, livelihoods, connectivity and infrastructure.
Promotion of private investment, urban services or general industrial-transport expansion are not TSP goals; the TSP is welfare and equity focused.
Hence, the answer is bridge the developmental gap between Scheduled Tribes and the rest of the population through inclusive development.
